Answer:

P (a vowel) =3/11

P (n or s) =2/11

P (not c )=9/11

Step-by-step explanation:

A letter is randomly chosen from the word candlestick

P(vowel)=number of vowels/total number of letters

=3/11

P(n or s)= number of letters which are n or s/total number of letters

= 2/11

P(not c)=number of letters except c/total number of letters

= 9/11

One minute after it is released, a gas-filled balloon has risen 100 feet. In each succeeding minute, the balloon rises only 50%

goldfiish [28.3K]

The amount that it rises each minute forms a geometric sequence...

a(n)=ar^(n-1), and we know that a=100 ft and r=1/2 so

a(n)=100(1/2)^(n-1)

And the sum of a geometric sequence is:

s(n)=a(1-r^n)/(1-r)

s(n)=100(1-0.5^n)/(1-0.5)

s(n)=200(1-0.5^n)

So we can call these sums the height function

h(t)=200(1-0.5^t)

So after 5 minutes...

h(5)=200(1-0.5^5)

h(5)=193.75 ft

The demand for a daily newspaper at a newsstand at a busy intersection is known to be normally distributed with a mean of 150 an

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

171 newspapers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 150, \sigma = 25$

How many newspapers should the newsstand operator order to ensure that he runs short on no more than 20% of days

The number of newspapers must be on the 100-20 = 80th percentile. So this value if X when Z has a pvalue of 0.8. So X when Z = 0.84.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$0.84 = \frac{X - 150}{25}$

$X - 150 = 0.84*25$

$X = 171$

So 171 newspapers.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

The answer is 75. 1. You simplify which is 3/4
2. Change to decimal then number you will get .75 move decimal two to the right to change to number then you will get 75!
